This marvelousbook uses stories about people-wherethey came from, what they believed in,what they dreamed of, and especiallywhat kind of homes they built-to presenta compelling history of a special partof America. From a quirky octagon of the1850's to an Art Moderne marvel of the1930's, the houses on these pages remindus of the richness of Wisconsin'sheritage-and the importance of keepingit intact and alive."
